England for aye!

The hollow at heart shall crouch forlorn,

He shall eat the bread of common scorn;

It shall be steeped in the salt, salt tear,

Shall be steeped in his own salt tear:

Far better, far better he never were born

Than to shame merry England here.

Chorus.—Shout for England! etc.

There standeth our ancient enemy;

Hark! he shouteth—the ancient enemy!
